Challenging
You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to be fairly fit to take part in Challenging ride. As well as covering a good distance, there may well be a few hills along the way! If you fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you.

Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Breeze Bike Rides in Bromsgrove

This is 30+ mile, steadily paced (probably between 9 and 10mph), undulating ride around quiet lanes locally. Out through Bromsgrove using the Sustrans route then using lanes. a little stretch on the A38 to turn back then lanes/ Sustrans again. Some undulations but nothing out of the ordinary.

It’s perfect for all abilities, particularly those who are building up on distances and want a nice, steady paced ride. We’ll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. We really welcome newcomers to our rides. Please bear in mind that time taken is an estimate.

It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack. Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments, we sometimes have a refreshment stop if time allows, we will be passing Perdiswell Leisure centre and be near Blooms plus passing a few other hostelries.

Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.

Now that its getting colder and there might be a windchill dress to keep warm, especially if there is an unplanned stop and on the downhills - hands particularly suffer on handlebars!

Inner tube and pump to suit your tyres are essential!

Look forward to seeing you there!

Hello, I didn't get on a bike until in my twenties and then started using one to go a short journey to work, I started exploring Sustrans routes with a friend and eventually joined a cycling club which is a great way to meet people and explore the countryside as well as improve as a cyclist. I now enjoy teaching bikeability and encouraging anyone to get going on their bike.

British Cycling and Sky have come together to help get even more people riding their bikes and falling in love with cycling. However you ride, we've created a whole range of ways for you to get involved - from big traffic-free events, to local guided rides; from women-only rides and support, to tips, ideas and great routes.
